Independent observers of the OSCE in Donbass went on vacation en masse. We are talking about observers from Western countries (60% of employees are on vacation) and Ukrainian observers (40% are on vacation).
The leadership of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission was allowed to take unscheduled vacations due to the military-political situation in Ukraine.
Thus, there are now few independent observers working in Donbass, and most of those who remained came from Russia and the CIS countries.
